Tender Quality Score

This tender provides a clear service description and basic information but suffers from significant gaps in legal compliance, completeness, and fairness due to missing evaluation criteria, lack of full document access, and no e-submission.

Score Breakdown

Legal Compliance60/100

The tender clearly defines the procedure type and CPV code. However, the absence of a reveal date makes it impossible to assess the reasonableness of the submission period, and the explicit lack of specified evaluation criteria is a significant legal compliance issue regarding transparency.

•Missing reveal date
•No evaluation criteria specified
Clarity70/100

The service description and AI-extracted requirements are clear and unambiguous. However, the overall clarity is hampered by the explicit absence of evaluation criteria and the reliance on 'Specification Schedule' and 'Submission section' which are not fully provided.

•No evaluation criteria specified
•Crucial referenced documents not fully provided
Completeness65/100

Basic information like title, organization, value, duration, and deadlines are present. However, the tender is incomplete due to the missing evaluation criteria and the lack of full content for referenced documents (e.g., Specification Schedule, Submission section), which are essential for a comprehensive bid.

•Missing evaluation criteria
•Full content of referenced documents (e.g., Specification Schedule) not provided
Fairness55/100

The tender's fairness is significantly compromised by the absence of specified evaluation criteria, which hinders transparency. The lack of full document access (only one summary provided) and the absence of e-submission also create barriers to equal participation. Requirements do not appear tailored.

•No evaluation criteria specified
•Lack of full document access (only one summary provided)
Practicality60/100

The tender clearly states the contract duration and start date. However, the absence of electronic submission is a significant practical drawback for potential bidders, increasing administrative burden and potentially limiting participation.

•No electronic submission supported
Data Consistency85/100

Most key fields are populated, and dates are logical. Minor inconsistencies include the missing reveal date and an empty 'Liable Person' field, but these do not severely impact overall data consistency.

•Missing reveal date
•Liable Person field is empty
Sustainability50/100

The tender includes an 'Innovation Focus' characteristic, which is a positive aspect. However, it explicitly lacks green procurement or social criteria, limiting its overall contribution to sustainability objectives.

•No explicit green procurement criteria
•No explicit social criteria
